Kouat Noi scored 22 points, Desmond Bane had 17 more and TCU held off a late push by Florida for a 55-50 victory on Saturday as part of the SEC/ Big 12 Challenge at Schollmaier Arena.
It didn’t seem like it’d be as close as it was. The Frogs enjoyed a 16-point lead late in the first half, but the Gators got back in it.
TCU scored just two points in the first seven minutes of the second half. Florida took advantage, tying the game at 34-34 on a 3-pointer by Andrew Nembhard (no relation to TCU’s RJ Nembhard).
